We will teach you the theory of how to sail small sailboats in New York City in the spring safely and prepare you for hands on spring sailing instruction the following day. We will also explain how our collective works and how other free sailing schools can be created. Please bring pen and paper to take notes with and drinking water and a snack if you prefer. There is a small public bathroom and water fountain available there. We will gather wherever seems quiet, usually the tall white tables in the middle. If you cant find us you might be the first person there so make a sign out of pen and paper or ask anyone that looks like a sailor of wanna-bee if they’re there for free sailing school. Please call, text or email me if you need more info. No need to call or text just to rsvp or cancel an rsvp. We usually get about 20 people so its hard to keep track of everyone anyways.

SPECIAL LECTURE:

“Unified Rope Theory”

I will discuss the interconnectedness of everything rope related and the unifying knots in various disciplines from Sailing to Trucker hitches and macrame and everything in between. You will be encouraged to learn the enigmatic bowline knot and other fun knots depending on the interests of the attendees. Some knots that might be covered are: the bowline knot, the springfield bowline, the sheets bend, square knot, the infamous granny knot, how to join two lines properly, trucker hitches, several more different bowline knots and sinches.

We’re run entirely by volunteers that want to make the world a better place so join us and help the cause! Please call me if you can’t find us or if you have any questions anytime 313-929-107five
